Had a really enjoyable meal on Sunday with excellent service. Never ever had a bad meal here. Highly recommend

We love Ciao. It never fails to live up to expectations. The staff are lovely. So welcoming and friendly and the food is great, at very reasonable prices. Staff are willing to adapt the menu to suit our likes. We did not have young children with us on this occasion, but have previously and the staff went out of their way to to make our visit comfortable. Highly recommend

Crowded House has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The staff are very attentive and knowledgeable about the food that they serve. The menu is varied with lots to choose from, whether you want tapas style or a main meal. We chose the classic baked Camembert with crispy bread, squid, crispy beef in hoisin sauce and the smoked salmon, all of which were delicious. Portion sizes are generous and the prices are realistic. You must go to this place!!!

Attended on 9th December and had a lovely meal. Fantastic service, lovely atmosphere and excellent food.

Nice food and atmosphere, - we went in for the early theatre menu before a show. Staff are lovely but the drinks are very expensive.

Finding real South Indian food in the UK is a challenge. Some restaurants dabble, but are unfortunately not brave enough to "go the whole hog", adding more UK-familiar, but not South Indian, dishes to their menus. This encourages some guests to play it safe, and order what they know. This in turn affects demand for the South India selections. And before one can say "chicken tikka masala", the South Indian selections are culled. Amma's Canteen has taken the proverbial South Indian bull by its horns. The menu is unashamedly South Indian to its core, the owners proudly and rightfully not at all apologetic for the lack of dishes on the menu that might be more appealing to a non-South Indian palate. And I praise the heavens for the courage of their conviction. The dishes my wife and I ordered were not just South Indian, they were lovingly home-cooking inspired of the highest standard in execution and the most exquisitely tasting South Indian! And the owners' creative personal twist to some of the South India staples to provide more variety on the menu did not compromise the restaurant's promise of a South India meal. We will definitely return. We will definitely bring friends who are not that familiar with South Indian cuisine. And we most definitely recommend a visit to Amma's Canteen to anyone already familiar with South Indian cuisine. My wife and I have a healthy appetite, but we left the restaurant replete. Given the quality and quantity of what we ordered, the £70 we paid for two people (inc. 10% service charge and £12 of beer/wine) was good value for money, particularly given that we had very little bread and rice with our meal. If we'd wanted to be less greedy and instead fill up on those carbohydrates we could have easily slashed £15 off the bill. And on top of everything, the service was beyond reproach - attentive, patient and efficient. Thank you Amma's Canteen. Well done on all counts. We look forward to our next visit.

Delicious food and wonderful service. The staff were so kind and engaging with our grandchildren- we will definitely be back.

Ate there at 4.30 on Friday with family, who were really impressed. The red mullet starter and lobster pasta were fantastic as was everyone’s food. Best restaurant around here, hope they can open up the top floor so that it is easier to get in at peak times. Steve Harris

I love it as a treat. I always go there pre-theatre. The food is good and it has a relaxing atmosphere with attentive staff. It is reasonably priced.

Lovely food and great atmosphere

Myself and 3 girlfriends had a lovely meal here. Staff were lovely. Couple of bottles of decent wine we brought ourselves. Food was amazing We ordered 4 dishes and shared. Couldn't fault them Thanks

Had a great evening on Saturday despite having to wait 45mins for our table in a very cramped doorway. The food was lovely and staff very friendly. Maybe there’s a problem with the booking system or they could do with a nice lounge to sit and have a drink
